SPI_GETRELNAME(3)

💅 SPI_GETRELNAME(3) — like, the relname page bestie ✨

okay so this is a page from the PostgreSQL 17.11 Documentation set, and it's filed under SPI_GETRELNAME(3) — yes, that's a section 3 manual page, we love a library-function moment 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SPI_getrelname — returns the name of the relation you point at, that's literally it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char * SPI_getrelname(Relation rel)

look at her go 👑 one function, one argument, no drama.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So SPI_getrelname returns a copy of the name of whatever relation you hand it. A copy, okay? Not a peek at the original — a whole separate copy, main character energy 🔥

And because it's a copy, you get to pfree it when you're done with it and don't need the name anymore. Very demure, very "clean up after yourself" of you 🧚

fr fr though — if you don't pfree the copy once you're finished, that's on you, bestie 😭

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• Relation rel — the input relation. the one whose name we're getting. the subject of the whole photoshoot 📸

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

The name of the specified relation. that's the answer. that's the tea ☕💅

---

and that's the page!! short and sweet, just like she should be 🌈
